Steady guidance when a client’s care is on the line.
Linden Care Advisory helps fiduciaries, trustees and attorneys handle addiction and mental health crises. We assess the situation, recommend a plan, oversee the care and report back to you.
“Linden is independent. We don’t take referral fees from anyone, so the recommendation is based on what the client needs, not on who’s paying.”
Taylor Huff, Founder

When to Call Us
Relapse or crisis
Your client relapses or goes into crisis, and you need someone on the ground fast.
Checking a program’s claims
You need a program’s credentials, costs and results checked against what it promises.
The problem is usually bigger than one person’s symptoms. It’s the whole case: a fiduciary carrying duty and risk, family patterns, privacy concerns, and money that can accidentally fund the crisis.
We turn that into a system with clear roles, guardrails and documentation you can rely on.
Family disagreement
Family is split on care or pushing a program, and you want an independent view before approving the expense.
Discharge or step-down
A stay is ending, and you need a realistic plan for what comes next.
Refusing help
Your client is refusing help, and you need a plan that respects their rights and still moves forward.
Not sure it fits?
Tell us what’s happening. We’ll tell you right away whether we can help.
Services
Care Needs Review
We meet the client, gather history from family and current providers, and give you a written picture of what’s happening and what’s needed. Clinical evaluations go through licensed providers.
Care Oversight
We coordinate providers, monitor progress, attend care meetings and adjust the plan when circumstances change, so the trust pays for real care, not a very expensive holding pattern.
Recommendations
Before recommending anything, we verify the license and level of care, confirm the client fits, check the people behind the program and visit in person. You get the options, costs and reasoning in writing.
Reporting
Weekly one-page update rated Green, Yellow or Red. A call within 24 hours of any material change. A monthly summary ready for court accountings.
Direct Care Support
When hands-on care is needed, we staff it through vetted partner providers, including case management and companion support. Who provides care, and at what rate, is disclosed in writing before any work begins.
Your Role and Ours
The fiduciary stays the fiduciary, not a daily negotiator. Your client brings day-to-day needs and requests to us, not to you.
What comes off your plate
Crisis response, so problems don’t become expensive emergencies
One point of coordination for appointments, scheduling and releases
A planned-request process, so the trust funds wellness, not urgency
Household vendors, sourced and replaced as needed
Safety monitoring in the home
Keeping clinicians, coaches and outside providers aligned
What stays with you
Oversight of the funding model
Decisions on major expenditures and distributions
Approval of any change in level of care, provider or plan scope
What This Looks Like for Your Beneficiary
We don’t diagnose, prescribe or replace treatment. We build the right care team and keep everyone working together.
-
We meet the person where they are, at home, in the hospital or in the middle of a transition. This is not case management from a distance.
-
Clinicians, programs, psychiatrists and family each hold part of the picture. With appropriate consent, we keep them talking to each other so nothing falls through the gaps.
How an Engagement Works
Every engagement is triaged. When a situation is urgent, we’re on the ground right away, and the written review and plan follow once things are stable.
01
Consultation
You tell us about the situation, and we tell you whether and how we can help. We respond within hours.
02
Care Needs Review
We meet the client, talk with family and current providers, and deliver a written summary within a few days.
03
Recommendations
You review the vetted options and make the decision. It’s documented for your file.
04
Oversight and Reporting
We coordinate the plan and keep you informed with weekly reports.
If a client isn’t progressing, the plan changes or the provider does. That applies to Linden too.
